Vacuuming or Mopping Your Floors: 186 Calories/Hour

Being stuck inside when the weather's nasty means having more time to do housework you've been putting off. Any activity you do while standing burns more calories than sedentary tasks, so chores like vacuuming and mopping are good for your health and your house's cleanliness. Both vacuuming and mopping burn 186 calories per hour, the equivalent of 15 minutes of running at 6.7 mph (a moderate pace that results in a 9-minute mile). Juggling multiple chores at once burns even more calories, of course.
